Guests who visit Universal CityWalk can look forward to dining at new eateries in the coming months.

In the last several months, we have seen additions to CityWalk, including the very first Antojitos, which serves authentic Mexican food, Cold Stone Creamery, Red Oven Pizza Bakery (which is Orlando's first-ever Neopolitan-style pizza bakery), Menchie's Frozen Yogurt and Starbucks.

Vivo Italian Kitchen is the most recent addition to CityWalk and offers family-inspired recipes, which include homemade sauces, freshly baked breads and savory meats. In the center of the restaurant, guests can watch the chefs mixing sauces, hand-crafting dough, preparing homemade mozzarella and making fresh pasta. The Italian kitchen also offers a variety of wines and unique Italian-inspired cocktails.

- The Cowfish: This one-of-a-kind eatery was born in North Carolina and has remained there ... until now. Universal Orlando will be the home to the third location. Cowfish combines the two most unrelated cuisines -- burgers and sushi and creates what is called, "Burgushi." Burgushi items include sushi rolls created using burger components and sandwiches created using sushi elements.

- Hot Dog Hall of Fame: Imagine a place where you can pick up a hot dog from any of the iconic ballparks in the country, including Chicago, Boston and Los Angeles. That's what Hot Dog Hall of Fame provides for its guests.

The commissioner of Hot Dog Hall of Fame, Steven Schussler, said he and his team did tastings all over the world until they found the best mustard, hot dogs and condiments. He wanted to create a place that catered to everyone's "regional tastes," as he described it. After five years of traveling around the country and visiting every single ballpark and place that has a popularity for hot dogs, Schussler was able to figure out what made a really good hot dog.

"When you bite into a good hot dog, it should bite you back. Literally. It should snap when you bite into it. It has to have good casing," he said. "The casing is a very important part of a hot dog. It’s those small things that make a difference. For instance, when you taste a great hot dog, it's important that you’re tasting the hot dog and not necessarily the bun. The bun can't be over-breaded and over-doughed. You have to have a bread that doesn't absorb all the juices from all the condiments so you can’t taste the meat. It's a science."

- Bread Box: This sandwich shop's goal is to transport you back to the days you were packed a lunch before you went off to school. The sandwiches are prepared with quality meats, veggies and fresh breads.

We have not received an opening date for these eateries, but have been it will be soon.
